The passport does have that power. But criminal and other checks take a while. Maybe only a few minutes, but if everyone needs a few minutes to get through immigration those queues get very long, very quickly. This is just doing the checks before you arrive, and there is a small admin fee for...

I've got at least one Depo on mine. Probably 7-8 years old. I made no attempt to fit the adjuster motor. Fit is like the original.

Pollution : https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/air_pollution_monitoring_data_in_london_2016_to_2020_feb2020.pdf Congestion (its an old report but shows 21% reduction in all motor traffic after congestion charge introduced. See table 6...

Well, got it back yesterday morning, so pretty quick to turnaround. And all seems back to normal. They even managed to wash about 75% of the bodywork and rinse the driver's rubber floor mat.

I think it's an entirely different engine to the 120 / early 150. At least I can tell you it looks very different, to the extent I couldn't find the oil filter and had to Google the location (accessed from underneath the car now). It's a lot quicker, and more fuel efficient than my 120. But my...

You have to admire their consitency. 8000 miles old and it appears I'm getting all 4 injectors replaced under warranty. Must be what they call a brand characteristic.

Yours has lasted well. Mine is now sat at the dealer, 5 months old and 8000 miles. DPF says it's full despite regenerating fine 2 days ago.

A long time ago there was a recall against injector seals for this VIN range KDJ125 JTE AZ29J# 00019035-00050831 June,2004 Through October,2007 KDJ120 JTE BZ29J# 00049705-00160767 June,2004 Through October,2007 If you're in the range and know the seals haven't been done, be a good idea to do...

It's Land Cruiser not a Hilux. Nothing as mechanically oikish as button to reset the trip. That'll be somewhere in touchscreen menu probably. I haven't even worked out where the regular odometer is yet, other than the 3 seconds it pops up for when you press the start button.

There are definitely operator presence switches. If you are the passenger you can hover over the seat for a second and the alarm resets. But it doesn't believe drivers can hover. I have heard it can be disabled with TechStream. I just havent got round to reinstalling that on a new laptop.

According to the letter, disabling the start is to conform to "UN regulations" which sounds quite a lot like cow poo. EU, possibly. UN, I think you're making it up. Or does UN mean something other than United Nations in this context? Anyway much more annoying is the stupid tyre pressure warning...

First ever new car. First ever recall notice. The software that is supposed to prevent you starting the car if you run out of Ad Blue doesn't work. Wonder how many people will go through the inconvenience of visiting the dealer, at best getting a courtesy Yaris for the day, to get that "fixed" ?

Interesting. Does seem to be a part. Toyota Land Cruiser (2007-Present) Towing Hitch Plastic Cover - Black (202) PW96060000CE - Toyota Parts Direct - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Toyota UK have them on eBay for £125! Even more annoyed my dealer stuffed up my order and neglected to add a tow bar...

Is that towbar a factory fit? Is the panel over the top of it to cover a cut to the bumper?

For the avoidance of doubt, I wasn't driving. I was holding the phone, and I've got long arms. Got 99.9mpg with a 30mph average for 45 minutes yesterday. Top of the Col du L'Iseran to Bourg St Maurice. :sunglasses:

Happy enough with this coming from a 120. Through the Massif Central so pretty hilly.

They stopped getting Land Cruisers when the 150 came out. They get SW4s which are Hiliux based. Argentina still gets them, and even the 300. But Google "brasil toyota prado" : https://www.webmotors.com.br/carros/estoque/toyota/land-cruiser-prado...

Steak looks good. Nice to see people riding mountain bikes round Brecon without tell-tale fat bottom brackets.

Is that a new, new Jimny. A commercial one? I'd have one if you could ever pay RRP rather than a few grand over. Neighbour just got a new commercial and it's very nice but £25K for a car that is supposed to retail for under £20K I'm not doing. That said the craziness has pushed all the prices...

Only done 10 miles home from the dealer so far. Feels a bit more awkward to judge the size because the bonnet is higher, but I'm sure that's just being unfamiliar with it. Doesn't feel as chuckable as my 120, but that could be familiarity as well. Does feel a step up in comfort and ride quality...

Further replying to my own post. Got my new 150 yesterday and it has these plugs fitted into the large holes on the outward facing vertical sides of the rear chassis rails. Still plenty of holes in the chassis but nothing more than 10mm. Pumped 4 cans of Dinitrol Cavity wax into the rear of the...

I agree the 120 low ratio first isn't low enough, certainly with the auto box, and my LC3 has no HDC. My Jimny is much better coming down really steep stuff. Probably helps it's less than half the weight too. But I think it depends why you're going up the steep slopes in the first place and what...

It's built into the wheel bearing. When you buy a new bearing you can specify if it's for a vehicle with ABS, or not.

Only issue is that it is written to work against TIS which is North American. Rather than Toyota-Tech. So will be interesting to find out if European (diesel) manuals are available through that.

This is very neat. And useful. And all written in Bash and Perl - oldskool!

"Up to 12 years". 0 years is up to 12 years. All they are claiming is that it will never last more than 12 years.

Got 3D mats in my 120 and they're great. Been there 10 years. Jet wash clean. And most importantly have a ridge all round that stops the water from your wellies sloshing to one side and soaking into the carpet. Can't seem to find them for the 150. They have them for the Lexus GX which I think is...

I've had the two cheap ones here Neither need bumper cuts. Don't look at the photos, look at the fitting instructions for the design. Had the Witter one first. Plate cracked after about 7 years, but I suspect a couple of bolts came loose and I didn't check. Had the PCT since, but left the...

I haven't paid duty or VAT the last couple of times I've ordered and thats come from the UAE, so I think this is more likely to be a result of HMRC missing stuff because they now have so much to look at. As far as I can see there is still duty on the import of car parts from Japan, it's just...

Engine needs to be running for the fuel pressure test. Not needed for injector programming.

I think Roughtrax site is wrong. You could ping them a mail to confirm. Also if you click on "Vehicle Compatibility" for that oil, with a VDJ200R selected it says it's good! Not saying you should buy from them, but also don't be immediately put off by that (first) compatibility warning. I'd...

Any thoughts on what is good to slosh around inside the chassis that won't catch fire when you inevitably have to weld it again? I used Dinotrol Cavity Wax in my cills, but I'm pretty sure it caught fire when I had to weld them last year. At least there was smokey stuff for quite a while after...

Worn bushes in the control arms on the rear axle can give this feeling, and not where you might first look. Ask someone who replaced their steering rack bushes first! Other common wear point worth checking is the lower half of the steering column, there are 2 UJs on it that will get sloppy...

The specific Toyota stuff is this 1 Litre Genuine Toyota Differential LT 75w/85 Oil - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] 200 has non-reusable crush washers on the filler plug. My bet is they didn't have those and didn't use them. I'd just get a couple (same front and back), take off the filler plug...

I'm intrigued at what you did with the dowel?

Toyota 67005-6A821 (670056A821) PANEL SUB-ASSY, BACK DOOR - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] I think it's the whole panel only. Although if you have a spare wheel on the back, your frame is probably not in the strongest condition. They seem to crack in the bottom right hand corner when viewed from...

I followed Bailey's pictures, but I used the workshop manual for torque. And reused the bolts. I remember that 13Nm being awkward because I think it's 17mm and I didn't have a 17mm 1/4" drive socket for my smallest torque wrench that went that low.

Has someone got the page from the workshop manual? Looking here (page E39) and this is for an early 1KD-FTV engine, those bolts are torqued to 21.6Nm and are not marked as one-time use. I have a feeling, although Google isn't finding it for me immediately 25Nm is for new bolts, and 22Nm is for...

Not helping you now I realise, but the factory manual says 22Nm.

Amayama (in Dubai) have them via Japan but that's going to be in excess of £1200 with VAT and a bit of import duty. I'd say they are very safe to buy from but no idea how long to get it. Might be worth trying Simon Holton to see what price he can get, I'll DM you his details. Or just your Toyota...

Mine went in exactly the same place a couple of years ago. Local agri fabrication place charged me 50 quid to put it back. BUT, if that has gone everything else on the axle is probably well gone too. The top arm turrets. The spring mounts. If I was off overlanding I would get a new axle case...

When my injectors were on their way out at 120k miles, Redex diesel cleaner got them almost back within +/- 3 tolerance on Techstream injector feedback. Using premium diesel from BP seemed to do them good too, and I've used that where I can ever since I changed the injectors about 100k miles...

Unless your light bulbs were manufactured in the 1950s you'll probably find lights make almost no difference to your overall consumption. In our house the cooker hob and grill seem to do most damage. Then oven, washing machine, and dishwasher. Tumble dryer would, but we make more and more...

Yep. 90,000 miles later. If only my rear suspension arm bushes would last half that long.

I think the concern with the pipes is that they can crack. You need to be gentle with them when you take them off, not pulling at them. You can blow them out with an air line to make sure they don't contaminate new injectors. Have certainly seen advice not to refit them more than once because of...

Good to see Toyota only mark-up injector pipes 600% :fearscream:

Bit late now, but Toyodiy is great for this sort of thing. You can search based on your VIN and find all the part numbers it was manufactured with. As noted sometimes you then find parts have been superceded. Searching on Partsouq or Amayama usually throws up the new numbers.
